10 MCU Castings Everyone Expects To Happen

1. Joe Keery - Johnny Storm

Tempting though it is to roll your eyes at the possibility of any Stranger Things stars being cast in the MCU, there's actually one actor who's a pretty perfect fit for a currently uncast role that needs to be imminently filled.

Joe Keery has been talked up a lot in recent months for the role of the Fantastic Four's Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and if the MCU's version of the character sticks to the relatively cocky and outspoken iterations previously played by Chris Evans and Michael B. Jordan, then Keery's a dead-on choice.

Keery's performance as Steve Harrington in Stranger Things proves he can play an initially offputting character who the audience slowly warms to, and it isn't tough to picture him as the difficult younger brother of Jodie Comer's Sue Storm either.

This is admittedly one of the more contested Fantastic Four roles up for grabs, but Keery's name is most certainly at the top of the pack right now, so his casting wouldn't really surprise many.
